STRETCHED FROM LIFE.
Brandy for the Ewes.

During the past two weeks the optics
of McCafferty have given out and he has
been mysteriously absent from his office
holding consultations with various Ocu-
lists. An amateur physician and great
chum of the redoubtable Mac advised
the external use of cloths soaked in
brandy and laid on the lids for night
or two. Mac took the hint but he did
not appear at work the next morning,
or the next, and his employers in fear
and trembling adjourned to his bed
room and gently removed the covers
from his manly person. The cloths
were Oh his eyes all right enough, but
were not soaked. McCafferty was the
one that was soaked, and from his mouth
to his feet lay an enormous bottle of
brandy, of which Mac had made an in
ternal instead of an external applica-
ton. With great difficulty he was
pumped round to his senses, the riot act
read to him, and to-day there is no
stauncher member of the Murphy tenn
perance club in the city than Signor
Rodrigo McCafferty.

Curiosity Satisfied.

A bevy of neatly attired ladies stepped
from a carriage on Nicollet avenue one
day last week, and at once became the
admiration of those passing by, on ac-
count of their stylish and tidy appear

fabrics, but of simple, plain cashmere.
The attraction WAS not SO much the

AND WHAT THEN?
The Liberal Ministers Discuss
This Great Problem.

The liberal ministers met at the First
Unitarian church yesterday aud Rev.
DR.. futile read paper in which he dis
cussed the recent AndOver controversy.
He first referred to the AndOver TheO-
logical seminary, the object of which
was to provide for the church a
learned, orthodox, piOuS ministry" He
adverted to the agitation which swept
over New England at that time
and during succeeding years, i'll re-
gard to orthodoxy. He touched upon
these points of difference and said
that the object of the founders of the
college was to make it an. invincible
fortress of their faith. Dr.. futile
showed how UniverSaliSm affected the
orthodox church and devoted some space
to the influence of Henry Ward Beecher
upon the great school of his church. He
then traced the gradual growth of this
spirit of liberalism and its effect Oh An
dover. The new departure" from the
old idea of probation got abroad. The
theory had crept i'll that probation eX-
tended in some instances beyond the
grave. The doctor then spoke of the
agitation in the college when it was
found how general this idea had be-
come Some "new departure" men
were refused ordination. 1t was made
a test in the college. No ''new depart
ure'' man was permitted to become
missionary. As results of the Andover
discussion. DR.. futile said that the ''new
departure" theory has risen to strong
importance and that it has influential
advocates. He felt certain that Uni
versalism is invading the centers of all
denominations and that the invasion
will do no harm. The dark and dismal
dogmas of the middle ages are diSap-
pearing. The churches are growing in
charity. The doctrine that the heather
who never heard of Christ are endleSsly
lost is irrational and unscriptural, and
our ideas of second probation have
found partial recognition in many of
the Congregational churches. In the
discussion which followed DR.. Vail, of
st. Paul, Rabbi IllowiZi and Rev. q. l..
Powers were the principal speakers.

THE POLICE COMMISSION.
A Secret Session of the Immortal
Board-.-Maj. Bracket Urged For
Superintendent of Police.

BOard-.-Maj. Bracket Urged For
Superintendent of Police.
The four members of the immortal
police commission, who are supposed to
conduct the business of the mayor OF
Minneapolis, yesterday attended the
famous mOnkey-wrench trial at the dls-
trict court, in which they inquire
with no great credit to themselves, as,
interfering with the business OF the
county attorney. Last evening they
held one of their star chamber sessions
in the little Sweat-bOX that has been ac-
corded them on the third floor OF the
city hall. The instructions that
were given to the secretary,
Maj. Norton. were that there was moth
ing to give CUT The stalwart and pict-;
uresque figure of w. NJ. Brockett. the
eX-sheriff, was observed to watt gently
in and out of the room, and 1T
is understood that he has been
not only offered, but urged to
accept, the fsuperintendency of police.
1t is also understood that up to date he
has declined to accept, but may finally
be prevailed upon to give in. The po-
lice commission realizes that it
is exceedingly unpopular with the
people, and desires to get
some one whose personal
standing will carry weight with his ac-
tons. Mr.. Bracket realizes this fully,
but, though the pressure against him
may be too strong, he has been told that
the unpapularity of the police commits
sion is certain to down the Re-
publicans at the next election.
1t has been represented to
him that he alone can save the party
under these circumstances. There is
little probability of his declination. The
police force is greatly disturbed over
the rumOred removal of at least twenty
five patrOlmen and possible change in
the staff, but no sign was given last
evening that any decided action had
been taken.

ALL SORTS.

The new apparatus for the fire department
has began to arrive, but unless the aldermen
composing the council committee on fire at
tend to their business the lack of horses will
render it imperative.
The police commission yesterday post
poned Its meeting presumably so it could at
tend the trial of the monkey-wrench case.
The new Peoples theater seems to have
been most appropriately named--judging
from the way the people turned out last
night to dedicate it.
CONVERSATIONAL SCRAPS.

that have had trouble in disposing of

Is the Money AuRight.

1t is rumored about the corridors of
the city hall that package of money,
representing considerable sum, yestel-
day disappeared very mysteriously
from the Office of the secretary
of the park commission, but
no authentic information as to the
truth of the report could be gained.
The fact that checks payable by the
city comptroller are usually given out
by the secretary would indicate that
there is probably no truth in the rumor.

Killed BY His Own Wagon.

An accident which terminated fatally
occurred yesterday morning at o'clock
on Tenth avenue south and Third street,
at the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul

William Frye was driving over the
crossing when the short line train came
along. He became so nervous that he
fell from his wagon, and one of the
wheels passed over his neck. He was
picked up and taken to DIR. Ames'

after his arrival. He was a young man
about thirty years old, and resided Oh

money in ten days Address X. care Tribune.
This is the form of an advertisement
which appeared in that great religious
daily, once honored as the official paper
of the Presbyterian alliance, the Mime
apOliS Tribune. In response to a catch
line which read Read our want col
umns," verdant gentleman from the
wilds of Kansas City, who gives his
name as Andrew Mayer, wrote an
answer to the effect that he would meet
*" at the Nicollet house "K'' showed
up in the person of Harry Harrington,
a handsome fellow who dresses
as though he was hired to
advertise the latest fall and winter
styles. ks little Speculation was
a scheme to beat faro bank by means of
a certain system. The Kansas City
jay thought he saw chance to win
somebody elSe's money and heartily ac
ceeded. He was initiated into the myS
terieS of the system and then guided to
one of those quiet resorts for gentlemen
which the moral police commissioners
allow to exist. The place is located
over the L. L. K. clothing store, and
used to be occupied by tannery. Mr..
Mayors experience would indicate that
people were still skinned there. A
young man with saddened eX
perience who delighted i'll the mystic
riOuS name of Jones sat before
a faro layout. evidently in meditative
mood. An elderly gentleman with be-
nevOlent air kindly bought $50 worth of
chips to plug with. To cut the story
short the SYSTEM didn't work. and
Mr.. Mayer lost $50. Harrington then
walked him out into the fresh air and
allowed him to revive. Next he was in
trOduced to travelling man, who said
he'd be ''durned'' if he didn't believe he
could beat that game. The three went
back and Mr.. Mayer dropped S165 in
about sixty minutes. Then he went out
and took a tumble. He did not fall off
bridge or do anything of rash nature,
but he kept up heap Of thinking. He
saw the same advertisement that had
steered him to financial disaster
in the religious journal the day follow
ing. and again answered it. In the
meantime he consulted the detectives,
who are supposed to see that no gam
Eting is done in the city. As result
when Harrington appeared at the NlcOl-
let again in response to the fictitious
answer to the advertisement he was ar
rested, as were subsequently the con-
Sumptive Mr.. Jones and the benevolent
old gentleman. who turns ont to be
Capt. jack Jackson. This occurred
Sunday, ana yesterday the two was ar
raigned in the municipal court, when
they were admitted to 500 bail each as
slight reminder that they must appear
for examination Friday. The charge
entered against them was swindling.

FOR FREE TRADE.
The New League Issues its For
Revenue Platform.

The Minneapolis Free Trade club has
organized with the following officers:
president, Judge LELAND; yice-presi-
dent, Howe Paige; secretary and treas
urer, Edward G. Gale. These y'.h Luth
Jaeger and Thomas PEBBLES constitute
the executive committee.
The club seeks the cooperation of all
advocates of revenue reform to the fol-
lowing immediate purposes:
First-To secure legislation which shall
place upon the free list the raw materials re-
quired for American manufactures.
Second-To effect a gradual reduction upon
manufactured articles until every enactment
is repealed which gives a bounty to special
manufacturers at the expense of the con-
sumers.
Third-To remove the imposition practiced
upon the people on the pretense of protecting
American labor through the tariff.
1t expects, by this means, to secure
the abolition of all taxes which are
levied upon the whole people to swell
the profits OF make good the losses of a
comparatively small portion of the
people.
